Aims & Ethos

The aims of Reigate Grammar School are:

  • To continue the traditions of the school in providing an excellent all-round education to talented pupils from a wide variety of social backgrounds.

  • To stimulate intellectual curiosity in all departments of learning and to enable pupils to fulfil their academic potential.

  • To provide a disciplined and caring environment that will encourage boys and girls to develop into morally and socially responsible young people.

  • To provide all pupils with the essential skills and experiences that will equip them for the world outside school.

  • To ensure that the development of these intellectual, physical, creative and social abilities is conducted in a happy and mutually respectful environment.

Click to enlargeThe School is non-denominational and welcomes pupils of all faiths and of none. Its general approach, however, is Christian and the strong links with St Mary's Church, including traditional Christian assemblies in the Church, are valued highly. The Grammar School tradition that has been so important in the history of the School remains central to its approach today, as the academic success of its selected pupils remains one of the most important aims. In a properly disciplined environment boys and girls are prepared for entry to University Degree courses, while an outstandingly committed teaching staff ensures that the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of students is enhanced both in class and in the wide range of extra-curricular activities that are offered.
